Ep. #130: How Cultural Conditioning & the Binary Have Shaped Us, Part 1

Coming Out Late

In this episode, Robin and Chris have a heartwarming and eye-opening conversation with their new friend, Stevie Inghram, Host of her own podcast, Queer Story Time, and a queer, trans femme yoga therapist, and gender & sexuality educator. They discuss a broad range of topics - all with a common thread of how cultural conditioning has shaped our lives from birth to present day.

In this episode, you will learn about…

• The hundreds of legislations and Bills being proposed and passed by cis-gendered, heterosexual individuals.
• What do we mean by the ‘dominant narratives’ in the world?
• What do we mean by the phrase, “cultural conditioning”?

A PUBLIC APOLOGY:

I wish to publicly apologize to BOTH Dr. Michelle Cromwell & Dr. Jampa Wurst, two of Stevie Inghram’s guests from her podcast, (Queer Story Time), who were both mentioned by Chris & I in this 2-part episode of Coming Out Late. We accidentally and incorrectly misgendered them both by using the incorrect pronouns. BOTH Dr. Michelle Cromwell & Dr. Jampa Wurst go by They/Them pronouns. My deepest, heartfelt apology to you both, AND to you Stevie!
